Prove that : cos20° cos40° cos60° cos80° = 1/16 .With complete solution..​

Answer»

COS20 cos40 cos60 cos80= 1/16

l.h.s. :

cos20 cos40 1/2 cos80 (cos60 = 1/2)

multiply nd divide by 2

1/4 (2 cos20 cos40 cos80)

1/4 (cos(20+80)+ cos(20-80)) cos40 (2COSA cosb= cos(a+b) + cos(a-b))

1/4 (cos(-60)+ cos(100)) cos40

1/4(1/2 + cos100)cos40

1/8 cos40+ 1/4 (cos40 cos100)

multiplt nd divide by 2

2/2(1/8 cos40) + 1/8(2 cos40 cos100)

1/8 cos40+ 1/8 (cos140+ cos(-60)) (2cosa cosb= cos(a+b) cos(a-b))

1/8 cos40+ 1/8 cos140 + 1/16 (cos60= 1/2)

1/8(cos40+cos140) + 1/16

1/8(2 cos90 cos(-50)) + 1/16 (as above IDENTITY)

cos90= 0

1/16

= r.h.s

hence PROVED........
